GENERAL  STATEMENT 

The  Department  of  Home  Economics  of  the  Lewiston  State 
Normal  School  was  established  in  1910.  The  purpose  of  this 
department  is  to  give  the  students  such  training  in  the  theory 
and  practice  of  Home  Economics,  that  they  may  be  competent 
to  teach  the  subject  in  the  elementary  and  secondary  schools  of 
Idaho. 

Qualification  for  Admission 

The  minimum  admission  requirement  is  graduation  from  an 
approved  high  school.  Candidates  for  admission  must  have  at 
least  30  credits  of  which  eight  are  English  and  one  is  chemistry; 
the  remaining  21  credits  may  be  in  any  of  the  secondary 
academic  or  High  school  subjects.  A  credit  is  understood 
as  satisfactory  work  for  one  semester  18  to  20  weeks,  five 
periods  a  week  of  a  minimum  length  of  45  minutes.  If  the  sub- 
ject be  science  or  manual  work,  this  time  should  be  double  to 
allow  for  lal)oratory  or  shop  work. 

Facilities  for  Instruction 

The  home  economics  building  was  completed  in  1910.  It 
is  so  planned  that  a  wing  may  be  added  as  more  room  shall  be 
needed.  The  lower  floor  of  the  building  already  constructed  is 
occupied  by  laboratories  with  all  the  necessary  apparatus  to  give 
thorough  instruction  in  Food  chemistry,  Bacteriology,  Cookery, 
and  other  subjects  related  to  the  course.  The  kitchen  equipment 
i-  complete  in  all  essentia]  details  and  is  so  planned  as  to  give 
the  -Indents  in  training  a  good  model  for  domestic  science  furn- 
ishing-  in   the   public   schools  of  the   slate. 

The  sea aid  floor  of  the  building  is  devoted  to  Applied  Arts  and 
Manual  Training,  and  is  admirably  arranged  for  that  work. 
1  tie  third  floor,  containing  two  large  dining  rooms  and  a  kitchen, 


**1) 


is  used  as  a  student  cafe  which  is  directed  by  the  domestic 
science  department.  The  Cafe  furnishes  an  excellent  field  for 
the  training  of  professional  students  in  school  lunch  problems. 
The  library  contains  the  best  books,  periodicals,  and  bulletins 
related  to  the  science  and  art  work  of  this  course.
